Abstract:
Papers of an author and foreign correspondent, including correspondence, contracts, notes, annotated typescripts of speeches and lectures, and edited radio scripts broadcast by NBC. The correspondence, contracts, speeches, and notes relate to a 1939 lecture tour; the lectures themselves concern Far Eastern and Latin American issues, the Spanish Civil War, and the background of the European crisis of that year. Radio scripts for broadcasts from London in 1939 and from New York and London, 1939-1944, form the bulk of the collection and include news on the progress of the war from all theaters, background issues, and sketches about European leaders and history. Accompanying the collection are recordings of 41 broadcasts, 1942-1943.
